Probably different for some if some hick in kentucky is your uncle but that applies to a small number of Canadians. Life never changed. Canada never took over countries by force for oil or to install puppet governments. Canada never tried to assasinate the Presidents of Cuba & Venezuela(democratically elected). Canada does not have a foreign policy of trying to setup a military base in every country on the planet. Canada has a lot less to worry about then USA which is hated by more countries then anyother.
Now that the US directly rules Iraq through a puppet you would think they would have uncovered the WMD.

What president of Cuba was democratically elected?? Kind of the same way Hussein was elected in Iraq? I am not saying US policy towards Cuba isn't misguided because it is terribly so. However, Castro is a dictator anyway you twist it. I am not even saying he is a evil dictator, but is one nonetheless.
Also, you might want to add that Canada didn't almost single handedly rebuild a better part of the world after WW 2. The US is definitely more in the affairs of others; sometimes for better, a lot of times for worse thats for sure. But, painting it as an evil empire is definitely an overexaggeration. Especially since the current regime is going to be gone soon.
